This resolution proposes an amendment to the Constitution of the State, specifically to Article IV, Section 1, concerning the election and terms of various state officers and general assembly members. The amendment suggests that starting from the year 1994, the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, attorney-general, and general treasurer shall be elected every four years on the Tuesday after the first Monday in November and shall hold office for four years from the first Tuesday of January following their election. It also limits individuals from serving more than two consecutive full terms in the same general office, excluding any partial term of less than two years.
Additionally, the resolution proposes changes to the election cycle of general assembly members. Currently, senators and representatives are elected biennially for two-year terms. The amendment seeks to change this, starting with the 2026 elections, to a four-year term for both senators and representatives, aligning their election with the general officers' election schedule. The resolution also outlines the process for recalling a general officer under specific circumstances and requires the proposition of amendment to be submitted to the electors for approval or rejection at the next statewide general election. The secretary of state is tasked with publishing the amendment proposition and ensuring it is included in the electoral process as per the existing laws.
